This photo is from the Texas State Archives, and I found it so disturbing I hoped you might want to talk about it. This is Texas Ranger E.J. Banks, who was sent to Mansfield High School to "keep order" during integration, Sep. 1956. The dummy had been hung from the school during the week prior. No one bothered to take it down. Ranger Banks was the only authority sent to the school. Another photo shows Banks posing formally with I believe the school principal, with the dummy in the background.
